MISSISSAUGA — In recent years, The Beer Store has started opening drive-thru outlets in Ontario — but this is probably not quite what executives had in mind.

On Saturday evening, an SUV crashed through the main entrance of The Beer Store at a plaza at Winston Churchill Blvd. and Eglinton Ave., coming to rest in the middle of the shop.

The crash happened around 9:30 p.m. and, according to the opening hours posted on The Beer Store website, the location would have been open at the time but police report there were no injuries.

However, there was extensive property damage and the store is expected to remain closed for several days while repairs are made.

A Peel police spokesman couldn't comment on how the car ended up smashing through the store doors or whether the driver will face any charges as the investigation is ongoing. However, a witness said the incident appeared to be an accident.

To "Mike." What an idiotic generalization. You sound like a "confused" young smart Alec. Time to grow up some.

Dollars to doughnuts it was another "confused" elderly driver. I can't recall the last time I heard about anyone smashing through the plate glass front window of a store or bank or other business that wasn't elderly. It happened twice in one week in Brantford a couple of weeks ago - in once case it was an elderly man and in the other it was two elderly women.
